The quests require killing undead in the plaguelands, money, and a trip to Un'goro.

This lock can be picked by rogues with lockpicking skill 280 or higher.

Comment by segroove

You have to pay a nice amount of money to get this key (15, 20G?). However, if you're level 60 you'll get money instead of experience for each part of this quest line, so the actual price for this key is below 5G.

As long as someone at the entrance has the key to let you in, you can skip the quest, but if you're levelling, I'd recommend doing the quest for some mad XP.

Three ways to get into scholo without key:

1) Rogue that can pick.2) Warlock can get naked, hellfire himself to death right next to door, run as ghost thru door and res3) My most favorite method with a duel. Get naked, duel a party member outside scholo door. Initiate duel, both of you run in scholo take the right go up the stairs and up more stairs eventually you will get to a dead end where you can go left and onto the roof right above the door to scholo. Have the other person defeat u in the duel, then jump off the roof and kill yourself right in front of scholo door. Run back as ghost, run thru door, res, bada bing bada boom you are now inside.

why does a warlock have to get naked

Comment by rdrew4

Is there a way to obtain the key if you have done the quest and distroyed the key?

Comment by Raskull

*Easily* soloed at 70. Araj the Summoner is real easy, just clear the mobs around him first, and it's cake. I did it because I was bored..

4. Head on back and accept Mold Rhymes With... where you'll be sent all the way to Gadgetzan to fork over 15 gold. Before you make the trip all the way to Tanaris, stop by an Auction House and grab two Thorium Bars for later. Once you've got your bars head over to Krinkle Goodsteel to hand him your 15g.

7. Head back to the Bulwark, talk to Dithers a few more times and receive your very own Skeleton Key. Grats!

The way I got into Scholo without the key was by running all the way up the stairs and jumping off the ledge, didnt take too long to kill myself and run in...this was the only way I could solo this instance since nobody was online to help. Hope this helps :D

I stumbled upon this and realized no1 even mentioned its reference! It is a reference to the movie "The Skeleton Key".

Comment by Ronanan

this running upstairs and jumping off works great. go as high up as you can and jump off to the right. your ghost appears at a nearby graveyard and you can simply pass right thru the locked door. make sure to rez before trying to enter the instance downstairs as you will go directly back to the graveyard of you don't.

Remember, when you are commting suicide to get in, TAKE OFF YOUR GEAR. I am not so proud to say that i hadn't repaired in a while before using this method, so when i died, half of my stuff was red.

Other than that, Happy Hunting

You can also use Arcanite Skeleton Keys to open Scholomance. Comes in handy if you don't have the instance key nor cannot find a Rogue to pick the lock.

Comment by Teiresias

It's been quite a few months, but I believe that I started the Skeleton Key quest chain, acquired the Skeletal Fragments, and stopped prior to Gadgetzan--couldn't afford the gold at the time.

Any suggestions on how to reacquire either the quest or the quest items?

Comment by Ellishkar

Why is it that when i got this key I didn't get The Keymaster achievement? I already have all the other keys...

Comment by Keekyo

I just completed the quest chain to get the Skeleton Key for "The Keymaster" achievement, and it did not credit me for it. Though it is on my key-chain. Anyone else have this issue?

Comment by CommanderApaul

To save yourself a lot of headache and time, make sure that you complete this quest before you go for your Bloodsail Admiral title.

Comment by mbok

Is the key still needed for Random Dungeons? Can you queue and will it look for someone with a key or does everyone need to have it... Or nobody, you will just get ported in...I'll probably end up doing the entire questline because I kinda like to collect keys, but some people might not wanna do this if it saves them time ;)

There are several ways to get back rep with the steamwheedle cartel:

If you're going for the insane title: - Kill the other faction of pirates found on the coast of Tanaris behind the caverns of time or the ones on the coast of the Barrens just north of Northwatch Hold. If you just want rachet rep stick to the ones in the Barrens because they give you 5 rep per kill with Ratchet for the Skeleton Key quest. -Run Dire Maul North... A lot... Until your eyes bleed and you Free Knot and do the Gordorok Ogre suit quest. It will also help with your Shen. rep when you turn in librams. Here is a link to the Achievement: Insane in the Membrane

If you don't want to bother with the insane title: - Kill the other faction of pirates found on the coast of Tanaris behind the caverns of time or the ones on the coast of the Barrens just north of Northwatch Hold.

This key is gone in Cataclysm, as are all other keys from classic dungeons.

Comment by Necropenguin

Indeed, the Skeleton Key has been removed from characters as of 4.0.3a, and with the changes to the Western Plaguelands the quests to get it also no longer exist.

However, the key is still in the game. Anyone who had it previosuly can go to a Locksmith and get it restored temporarily, but when you log out the key will again be removed from your character's possession.

Comment by Jickles

As of the current patch there is no key required to enter Scholomance.

Comment by raidmaster
